Overview: Comedy Bootcamp is the first stand-up comedy class for veterans, service members, and military family members. Led by professional comedians, the seven-week course develops the comedy writing and performing skills of participants through hands-on instruction and group feedback. Classes culminate with a graduation show at Drafthouse Comedy Theater, with each student delivering a five-minute set to friends, family, and supporters from the DC area. These shows, which typically sell out, provide an engaging outlet to hear the authentic and hilarious voices of our area's veterans and military family members.


Join Port City as we bring our popular Arts & Ales event to DC and turnDrafthouse Comedy in DC into an art gallery. Local artists will exhibit their works while you sip on some of your favorite PCBC beers, including some limited releases. There will be food for sale from Old Blue BBQ, DJ Laura Lopez spinning tunes, and artwork available for purchase. Plus, guests can enter a raffle to win pieces from great local talents! Free admission, beers priced a la carte.


5-7 amateur comedians compete for an $100 cash prize. A headliner closes out this hilarious 1-hr show with a 20 minute performance. The show is hosted by Paris Sashay & Rallo.


We are thrilled to bring Story District to the Drafthouse for the first time to debut the first Best of Real to Reel in which real stories told live on stage are made into reel stories on film in a one-week contest with their partners at DC Shorts.  The Best of R2R will take place on Wednesday, October 4, 2017 at the Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse. Three firsts! First time in Arlington, first time at the Drafthouse, and first time showcasing the best the stories and films -- together in one night -- from past contests.


A master of reinvention, Kilmer transforms himself into the "First American," Mark Twain, in a comedic and moving performance that is both contemporary and reflective. The piece is based on the life of the man, Samuel Clemens, and of course his writings as Mark Twain. From his thoughts on politics (including his famous disdain for the U.S. Congress), to his family and ultimately his faith and God, Twain spins a series of yarns with his timeless satire and incomparable wit. Mr. Kilmer will introduce the 90-minute film and conduct a question and answer period with the audience following the screening. VIP ticket holders will have an opportunity to meet Val, chat, and take photos after the Q&A.


BETCHES is excited to bring back a special Halloween edition of the BETCHES OF COMEDY BRUNCH. The signature snarky and honest BETCHES humor you live for will be brought to 7 cities across America, with a side of mimosas and a sh*t ton of laughs. All brunches will take place Saturday October 28th and also, we expect to see you in your costumes (there will be prizes for the best, duh).

Sketch Comedy has been the cornerstone for comedy creativity for many years, including Late Night talk shows, SNL, Monty Python, MadTV, and more. Join us for our Level 1 Sketch Writing course with veteran Stephen Hale. Students will get stage time to perform their material in front of a live audience at Drafthouse Comedy in DC and/or the Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse. Additionally, willing students can form in house troops and perform along national headliners as they continue to develop their skills. Time to get your creative comic juices flowing.

This course in an introduction to sketch comedy, writing short comedic scenes, rehearsing and working towards building a show that the students will perform in.  Each week students will explore different sketch formats and be asked, each week, to bring in a new sketch based on a specific format.
 
The goal of Drafthouse Comedy Level 1 Sketch Writing is to push students to not be afraid to fail in their writing, make big choices and take risks. Finding your own voice through the guidance and support of your teacher is what we strive to have you achieve.
 
The course will run for 8 total weeks.  5 weeks of writing, discussing and collaborating on new material.  2  weeks of rehearsing and exploring chosen sketches for the show and the final show, which will be held on the last day (8th week) of class.  
 
No prior sketch writing experience is necessary - the only requirement for this class is a desire to write, perform and learn.  Students should be prepared to work outside of class, writing new sketches, for the first 5 weeks of class. 
 
Class Size: Max of 10 Students. Tuesday 7pm - 9:30pm October 24thNovember 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th, December 5th, 12th, 19th
